The Talon is very Viable on Gold. I run a Drell Vanguard with a Talon IV and regularly get in the top two - and die the least!
I put the extended mag on (7 shots) and the extended barrel - making it a lighter, faster firing, more accurate, shotgun (it's even deadlier than most shotguns as well) This gun is a god-send for any class that need a close range edge but can't necessarily take a full fledge shotgun.
Also, the Talon is very forgiving when firing from the hip and on the move - both VERY important traits for a Drell Vanguard. I take it over my Carnifex VIII in most situations.
The Talon is a beast.

Not on gold
Works fine on gold at midrange. Helps to have some power that can stun though; 4 rounds per mag is not very much.

Works fine on gold with a Krogan BM. I still prefer the disciple for now. Once my Talon is leveled though I'll stick with it for the few occasions I need to stay behind cover and snipe.

To use the Talon to max effect on Gold:
-scope (tightens spread)
-clip size (from 4 to 7)
-use it on a Turian (max stability)
-use it with marksman (accuracy, rof, extra headshot damage)
If you haven't gotten the hint yet, use it on a Turian Soldier. You can down a prime in two talon clips or less (with clip size mod, headshots). Also stuns primes giving you more time to unload with max marksman RoF.
Advantages
-tightened spread = headshot, long range sniper
-6 pellets, enough to bypass shield gate
-marksman headshot OHKO's a nemesis or any lesser enemies doesn't need marksman (husks, cannabals, troopers)
-centurians, marauders, pyros, hunters, in 2 headshots (preferbly marksman headshots)
-talon has stagger effect
-can make phantoms dance, in turn, phantom crowd control
-marksman produces great dps with talon. Other pistols that create similar dps is the paladin
In short, it's a headshot machine. With extra 25% headshot damage fom marksman, accuracy boost that tightens the spread even more, RoF+ makes it more viable for CQC, stability makes the gun kick less, staggers, bypass shield gating, and lastly great DPS.

I tried it for a game now. very unimpressive compared to other shotguns like the claymore, gps, wraith or other pistols like the carnifex/paladin.
Useable maybe, beast, hell no.
It took me a whole day messing around with the Talon. It's true potential requires tweaks and mix and matching different mods, ammo powers, rails, etc. Don't dismiss the gun yet based on just playing with it once.
I get 1st or 2nd with my Turian Soldier Talon build and rival scores to claymore GI's and GPS users. That in itself, has to mean something about the Talon.
But again, I find it being most effective on Turian Soldier. Overall effectiveness with other classes? Eh then the gun is less effective imo. But for the gun to be "beast" then use it on the right class with right mods and equipment. That's the only way some guns in this game can shine.
I have a Talon VII btw...

I used it on Gold with my Drell Adept today it seemed okay:) was taking out it's fair share of Phantoms and Atlas enemies.
Only reason i'm mentioning Drell Adept is because of his reduced weight abilities on Heavy Pistols that make the Talon a shotgun with the weight reduction ability added.
Thats how I see it at least I gave it a Pistol Rail amp and Armour piercing rounds.
